Northern 158849 re-liveried in a yellow scheme with TAKING YOU TO THE TOUR lettering along the lower bodyside. The branding has been applied in connection with the Grand Depart of the Tour de France in Yorkshire on 5 and 6 July 2014. Extra trains will help people get to the event and both Northern and First TPE have leased loco hauled coaches to supplement regular workings. 158849 is heading east at Gregson Lane on 2 July with an evening Blackpool - York service. Bonsoir.
